SHAKER-BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 26, 1910.

Application. filed May 3, 1910. Serial No. 559,163.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN L. DUNNOCK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certainnewand useful Improvements in Shaker-Bottles, of which the following isa specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in bottles, and particularly tothat class of bottles known as shaker or sprinkler'botties, usuallyadapted for use as a container for perfumes, toilet waters, hair tonicsand the like, and has for its object to provide a bottle of thischaracter that by inverting the bottle and giving it a vacillatingmotion the contents may be sprinkled from the bottle on the objectdesired, and when not in use may be readily sealed to the prevention ofthe evaporation of the contents.

The further object of the invention being to provide a bottle of thischaracter wherein the metal parts usually used in the construction ofbottles for similar purposes are eliminated, the metal parts beingparticularly objectionable by reason of their tendency to corrode, andrendered so, to a great extent by reason of the natureof the contentswith which the bottles are filled coming in contact with the parts.

With the foregoing objects in view my invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, arrangement and combinations of partswhich will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

The accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification,illustrates a bottle in elevation partly in longitudinal section.

A, indicates the body of the bottle, made of any suitable size, shape ormaterial, but preferably of glass, having a neck 1, within which, andlocated a predetermined distance from the mouth 2, is provided ashoulder 3, the neck of the bottle above the shoulder being inwardlythreaded at 4.

. 5 indicates a hollow cap, made from any suitable material, preferablyglass, threaded at 6, for the purpose of engaging with the threadedportion l of the bottle neck into which it is adapted to be secured.Into the recess 7 of the cap is secured a packing 8, made from anysuitable material, preferably cork, the purpose of which will behereinafter explained.

Secured within the-neck 1, is a nipple or nozzle 9, made from anysuitable material, preferably glass, having the usual opening 10,extending therethrough, and exteriorly provided with a shoulder 11;secured around the nipple or nozzle below the shoulder is a sleeve 12,made from any suitable resilient material, preferably cork, the nozzleor nipple bein inserted within the neck l, with the shou der ll,engaging with the shoulder 3, in the neck, thereby limiting theinsertionof the nozzle in the neck, the nozzle being held in this position by thefrictional contact of the sleeve 12, with the inner wall 13 of the neckand the nipple or nozzle, which also forms a packing to prevent leakagebe tween these parts.

My device is operated as follows; the bottle A is first filled, thenipple or nozzle is then secured in the neck in the manner hereinbeforedescribed, thevcap is then screwed within the neck with the cork packingengaging with and closing the opening 10 of the nozzle and closing it.When desired to usethe bottle for discharging the contents therefrom,the cap is removed by unscrewing it from within the neck, and the bottleshaken in an inverted position, when the contents will be sprinkled uponthe desired object.

Slight changes and alteration might be resorted to in the form andarrangement of the several parts herein described, without departingfrom the spirit and scope of my invention, hence I do not wish to limitmyself to the exact construction as herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is;

1. In a bottle of the character described, the combination with a neckhaving a shoulder provided within its upper end portion, and threadsprovided Within the end portion above the said shoulder, a nozzle havinga shoulder provided thereon adapted to seat upon the said shoulderWithin the said neck, a cap adapted to be secured within the said neck,and means within the cap for closing the said nozzle, substantially asdescribed.

2. In a bottle of the character described, the combination with a neck,having an inner threaded end portion, and a shoulder provided within theneck below said threaded end portion, a nozzle having a shoulder thereonsupported by the said shoulder in the neck, a resilient sleeve securedaround the nozzle below the said shoulder thereon, a threaded capsecured within the said neck,

semen and means Within the cap for closing the said nozzle,substantially as described.

3. In a bottle of the character described, the combination with a neckhaving an inner threaded end ortion, and a shoulder provided within t eneck below said threaded end portion, a nozzle having a shoulderprovided thereon, secured within the said neck and supported by the saidshoulder provided therein, a sleeve secured around the nozzle below thesaid shoulder provided thereon, a threaded cap secured within the saidthreaded end portion of the said neck, and a cork packing secured withinthe cap for closing the said nozzle, substantially as described.

4. In a bottle of the character described, the combination with athreaded neck, and a shoulder within the neck below the thread- JOHN L.DUNNOCK.
